2. The Aquarium is located in the Port Vell area, the nearest metro stations are Drassanes and Barceloneta.

4. Next, choose one of the ways to swim with sharks: in a cage, go deep under the water and look at them through the bars or if you have a diver's certificate, do not miss the opportunity and go under the water just in gear where you can swim side by side with sharks.
